J. W. Coop is a 1972 American Western film set in the world of the modern American rodeo circuit.

Plot
Robertson's title character is a professional cowboy who wants to work the rodeo circuit and is given the chance by a rodeo impresario: this stroke of luck after he is released from jail for the passing of bad checks.
